SP2 for 32 Bit Vista

[Tim]

Hi

My version of Vista is 32 bit, "Version 6.0 (Build 6001: Service Pack 1)".
I've found the SP2 download on the MS site which only has "x64" versions.
Assuming this means 64 bit, will it work for the 32 bit version?

The link to the x86 (32 bit) version of sp2 is right there on the link
you posted.

No, Vista SP2 64-bit will not work for Vista 32-bit.
But why don't you use the "x86" (= 32-bit) version?

Thanks guys - it would be better if MS called it x32 as x86 doesn't indicate
what it's for.

x86 as in 386, 486 processors.

x86 IS an indication of what it's for! see this for a historical
perspective;

My first computer bragged about having an 80386 processor, state of the
art then.
